hi ec,

ok the test is like this at 5 and 6:

use slip adjust enable : result keep moving SL and TP
use close early enable : result close it early keep the opening always lossing because different spread....

override null working fine : it's jumping to open after we choose.
the alert look like working fine....

even i disabled close early and slip adjust, it is still close early position...

ec trade, i am still confuse, is it dingdong working base on time frame we attach it or base tick per tick? and

it look like the close early base on tick per tick... it is close at same time only different seconds.

i did not notice yet what time frame i attach it... it's hard to see it when it close early everytime base on tick per tick.

maybe close early can working together base heiken aishi and stochastic TF, when our position is buy and they both say sell at the same time frame example 15 minute.

later i will try attach dingdong all in same TF :15 minute...

hi ec,

Okay, I think I figured out the problem here. The slippage adjust is based on the default TP and SL settings, which are fine so long as you are using Dazz options 1-6. This is why I haven't noticed the problem.

However, when you switch to Classic mode, where TP and SL values are different, and it tells it to snap back to these default settings (TP-7 and SL-12 versus TP-10 and SL-20), then you're going to have problems. This is what you've noticed isn't it?

That should be easy enough to fix.

No, I don't think it should be doing this ... not unless you are switching between options (Dazz and Classic, etc.) in the properties box without closing out the program and starting over? This is what the "Reset" ("on" by default) is supposed to do, in an attempt to clear the buffers so to speak, as I had already mentioned before.

If this is what's happening, and you don't want to close the trade out when you "switch," set Reset to "0." As I said before, the Reset is primarily there for testing.

I was trying to get it to latch up though, until the start of the next trend, instead of switching over for just one tick. So no, it's not really working. It won't allow you to place any trades (one possibly in "Classic" mode) until the start of the next trend. So, it looks like I need to work on it some more.

As for the slippage adjust problem, as soon as I went to test it, it stopped acting funny, so I don't know what to think? Although I think it's related to the TP and SL default settings like I said.

Did you notice if it was just happening in "Classic" mode or, was it happening in "Dazz" mode also?

ectrade:
1. i think you're right it happened because i switch to classic that move SL 12 to 20 and TP 7 to 10>only happened in classic mode the switchin SL and TP.
2. close early so dangerous can open to many opening because different like when hit SL that is hit 2 times=off. it keep opening and losing the spread.

it working fine now with disable both : adjust slippage and close early after i close everything.

maybe because the switching setup that make problem, must be close.

ok, let me start over again the setup maybe because i am to confuse between close early and slippage...

ectrade,

about over ride null=1....i think it's working fine, because sometimes it waits to open.... it not like in classic that is jumping right away to open position...

it happened in classic mode, so maybe it is not slippage, it is related to the TP and SL default...... sorry i make you confuse.

i just make new setting and organize only do 5 and 6 mode after closing everty thing and before close i deactive with no mark at live on trading:

this is the problem

about SL and TP moving that i never had it before with same setting..... i don't know what happened about this....
setting GBP/chf :
sep 1=6,0,0
sep2=3,0,1
sep7=2,2,0

sell :1.68870 SL : 1.68990 TP:1.68800 move SL and TP to : SL 1.70070 and TP :1.68170

and at other setting : every opening never hit SL or TP always close early even close early is disabled.
setting us/chf :
sep 1=5,0,0
sep2=3,0,1
sep7=2,2,0

Did you try closing out the EA and starting over with the new settings? This is when I noticed it happened to me. Apparently the information from the previous mode is still left in the "buffer" (whatever) and gets transferred whenever you switch modes. In other words it doesn't like this and you should try to avoid doing it ... which should be easy enough if all you are doing is setting it up to place trades and leave it alone. But, if you are testing and switching back and forth between modes, sooner or later something like this is going to happen.

I don't really like this either, but I noticed when I start having this kind of problem, and I shut the EA down and restart it, that usually resolves it. Another thing you can do is hit "Reset" in the properties window and reenter your selections and that will help to clear the buffers, so to speak. If you don't do at least this much, then you are asking for problems.

I think I may need to find a way to clear out all this previous information ... either that or get used to the idea of shutting the EA down completely and restarting over whenever I want to try something different. Sounds like it's going to be a lot of work though. I'll have to think about it.

This may in fact be a result of the same buffer problem above. In which case there's not much you can do, except shut the EA down and start over.

Well, at least you can shut it off.

Oh well, I guess that's what I got through saying above.

Okay, I think I figured out a way I can do this without too much trouble. I think maybe I can store the parameters for each mode on a global variable and, once the mode is changed, it will clear all the old parameters and upload the new parameters from the globals. It's an idea anyway.

Boy that was quick!

Wow, you solve the problem so quick! Godspeed, ecTrade!

Thank you very much!

Btw, i didn't face this problem when tested the latest Ding_Dong_Dazz, because i always close the MT4 before trying new combination/features.

@Tulipevierge:
What a Godspeed you too...testing the Ding_Dong_Dazz_T4 very soon...
Great job, friend!

Well, that would seem to isolate the problem then, and suggests it isn't a problem with these two features ("slippage adjust" and "close early") as much as it's a problem with switching between modes ... well, hopefully anyway. At least we know "why" it doesn't work.

Yes, I'm having the same problem when switching between modes. That's what Reset_1_0 is supposed to do (set to "1" by default), delete the previous trade so you can open a new trade in the current mode. Again, this is primarily for testing. It's also enabled when you first open the EA but, since you generally don't have any trades open at that point, it doesn't matter. Or, if you did, and you don't want to delete it, you set Reset_1_0 to "0." But no, it's not a problem with "close early" at this point.

Having seen what you did majestically with "Ding Dong". I am humbled and I pray you to please take this my attached EA and add the necessary command lines to enable the EA do as follows:

When any Order is opened, open 7 Pending Orders at variable number of pips and lots as well.

i.e. If the EA opens a Buy Order, the EA should also open 7Nos of Pending Buy Orders at PB1, PB2, PB3, . . ., with LOT1, LOT2, LOT3, . . . respectively, at different provided number of pips lower than the instant executed open buy order. All shall have the same TP & SL points and all unactivated pending order should be cancelled immediately the TP is hit. Same for Sell Orders.

Where PB1 = User entered Pips Value for 1st Pending Order Point.
LOT1 = User entered lot value for PB1. etc.

XXXSOSXXX Please, I wish to appeal to you to "only insert the relevant command lines and not change my EA Structure because that is the ONLY Way I know how to make EAs", Please ecTrade, please.

Thank you so very much for your time and in advance for the anticipated assistance. Many Thanks.

Sorry guys, but I needed a break.

Having said that, I do believe fixed this "mode change" issue. Hurray!

The problem had to do with converting from a 4 digit broker to a 5 digit broker, which I did when I first initialized the EA. It worked fine when converting the Dazz variables and Classic variables separately but, once the EA is initialized and starts, and you try to switch between modes, then it goes haywire (i.e., crazy). I also noticed that it seemed to work okay when switching between Dazz options specifically, and between Classic options specifically. So, this is what clued me in.

So, what I did was convert the Classic variables after the EA is initialized, and now everything seems to work fine. In fact it seems you can switch back and forth between modes without any problem at all!

I also set the Reset_0_1 option to "0," which leaves the current trade open when you switch between modes. If, however, you want to close it, you set it to "1."

Oh, if you leave it open, you'll notice it automatically snaps to the parameters of the current mode, in particular the TP and SL settings. I think it's kind of neat.

Well, I haven't released Dazz_V1.3 but, I may just by-pass that (with so many "T" versions) and go with Dazz_V1.4. I think it might be less confusing that way. I only have a couple of other things to add (including getting Dazz Plus running--hopefully), and it should be ready.

Have fun!

ETA: Had to revert back to "T4" and only add mod to fix 5 digit broker problem. Also maintained Reset_0_1 option. So far so good!

hi ec,

thx for T5, is it only me that having moving SL and TP even with t5. i did re install new mt4, close the chart and doing reset things from 1 to 0...or 0 to 1... but it never working still have moving SL and Tp.

No, it's acting crazy again. Now I don't seem to be able to do anything? It was working just fine a little while ago. I was actually quite pleased with myself with the way it was working.

Now I did do quite a bit of mods to T5 that really weren't necessary, in terms in whether it should work or not. I was just trying to clean things up a bit. I think what I need to do is revert back to T4 (although I might call it T5), and incorporate this one change that I think is supposed to fix it.

Will see what happens anyway.

Okay, try it again. I think I changed too much without taking the time to step through it to make sure it works. Even though it seemed to work fine at the time.

I think one of the parameters must have changed when switching between modes without my realizing it ... only to find out later that it doesn't work. And, for all I know it may do the same thing with the way it's set up now. Will have to wait and see.

Of course if this doesn't fix it, I think we're getting very close, for I appear to have at least isolated the problem.

this looks so fine for me, let see about an hour.
thank you ectrade, you're working so hard on this...
i apreciated i know it is getting close

ok.
sep1=6,0,0
sep2=3,0,1
sep7=1,2,1

there is moving SL and TP. it look like because slippage is enactive...

sep1=5,0,0
sep2=3,0,1
sep7=2,2,1 this setup is ok...so far.
